Eclair: Cannot create my first channel. Usually get insufficient funds error

Hello,

I decided to try to help out the lightning network by setting up an Eclair node. I followed the guide from Ivan on Tech. I set up the rpc user and password and made sure by bitcoin core 0.17 is fully synced and loaded with 0.004 BTC. At the time of this writing it has 66 confirmations.

I went to 1ML to get some nodes and tried about 20 of them. They all failed. Usually get an error about insufficient funds (code -4).

What am I doing wrong? One thing I noticed is that on the bottom of the eclair window it says total 0.0000000 BTC. Does this mean it somehow doesn't see the BTC in core?
